15. ULPA Filter Access Port to access the ULPA filter during filter changing
procedures. For harmful powders and particulates, the true bag-in/bag-out
procedure is used to properly dispose of the contaminated ULPA filter.
16. Control Panel. The control panel, which is located above the sash,
contains the filter system pressure gauge, control switches and the
electronics.
17. ULPA (Ultra Low Penetration Air) Filter is rated to remove 99.999% of
all particles 0.12 micron in size.
18. Lamp Ballast (not shown) for the fluorescent lamp is located behind the
control panel.
19. Optional XPert Exhaust Collar (not shown) provides a 6" (2', 3' and 4')
or 10" (5' and 6') diameter transition to a remote blower or house exhaust
system.
20. Optional Accessory Canopy Exhaust Connection (not shown) is
available to duct the XPert Nano Enclosure to the outside. The Canopy
Exhaust Connection affords the operator additional protection from
hazardous particulates, fumes or vapors. Each Canopy Exhaust Connection
includes an epoxy-coated steel exhaust transition adapter designed for 6"
diameter nominal duct on 2', 3' and 4' sizes. The 5' and 6' sizes use 10"
nominal duct.
21. Optional Ionizer (not shown), when activated, floods the work area with
positive and negative ions to neutralize static charges on the surface of non-
conductive items. Ionizer cannot be installed after manufacture.
22. Upper Diffuser Screen provides protection for the ULPA Filter and (LED)
airflow sensor. See Figure 4-1.
23. Optional Utility Shelves (not shown) allow the user to hold utensils and
printers on shelves inside the enclosure. See Chapter 7.
Safety Precautions
1. A qualified certification technician should test the enclosure before it is
initially used. The enclosure should be validated whenever it is relocated.
The use of an airflow monitor is recommended to alert the user to a
problem with airflow.
2. Use good housekeeping in the enclosure at all times. Clean up spills
immediately. Periodically clean enclosure interior.
3. Do not overload the work surface with apparatus or work material. The
safe operation of the enclosure is based upon having proper airflow through
the structure. Do not place large objects directly on the work surface.
Instead, elevate the object 3/4" on blocks to allow a flow of air under the
object and into the rear baffle exhaust slots.
